  • Why Smart Docs Still Stress About Money (Even When They're Set), Ep 28

    Why Smart Docs Still Stress About Money (Even When They're Set), Ep 28
    May 1 2025
    Physicians assume that once their income stabilizes and their savings plans are in place, they will have peace of mind. But what if that peace never shows up? What if, despite doing everything “right,” they still feel anxious, distracted, or perpetually behind? In this episode, we explore a surprising culprit: the emotional toll of financial noise - the relentless stream of news, updates, social media posts, and peer chatter that quietly chips away at your well-being. Today, we’ll walk through real-world examples of clients with rock-solid plans who nonetheless feel like the sky is falling, often because of a tweet, a headline, or a half-baked take on PSLF. They highlight how easy it is to internalize fear and stress derived from sources of information that are inaccurate and irrelevant to your financial reality. The problem isn’t a lack of money, it’s a lack of mental margin. You’ll leave this episode with two core takeaways: a reminder that boring investing is often the smartest kind; and second, a clear strategy for reclaiming control over what information you let into your brain. Because in a world where financial anxiety can be manufactured by a bot on a Sunday, the ability to filter noise isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential.

(0:00) Financial stress that isn’t about the numbers (3:30) How news and social media hijack our financial decisions (4:45) Why “boring investing” beats trying to time the market (7:00) The disconnect between being financially fine and feeling financially fine (8:50) Rules and boundaries around news and social media consumption (13:10) A real-time example: PSLF panic caused by a website glitch (17:00) Refocusing on what you can control when the financial world feels chaotic The Hidden Stressor in Your Financial Life No One Talks About Most of us assume that we won’t have to worry about our finances once we’ve hit a certain income level or dialed in our investment strategy. But time and time again, we meet with physicians who are doing all the right things - saving, investing, managing debt, and still feel uneasy. That stress often stems from something intangible: the constant noise in the financial atmosphere. Whether it’s a headline about student loans, a friend’s market hot take, or a viral tweet about PSLF vanishing overnight, this kind of input doesn't just inform us, it can overwhelm us, hijack our sense of control, and leave us in a persistent state of financial unease. How to Filter the Noise Before It Hijacks Your Decisions It’s not the presence of information that’s the problem, it’s the volume and velocity. With social media platforms and news alerts pinging us 24/7, our brains are stuck in a loop of reacting rather than responding. We’ve seen this happen firsthand: clients with airtight plans suddenly spiral over a rogue tweet or misinterpreted update. The solution isn’t to bury your head in the sand, but to build intentional filters. That might mean muting certain keywords, uninstalling apps from your phone, or limiting your news intake to one reliable source, once per day. You don't need to know everything the moment it happens. You just need a clear enough head to make good decisions when it counts. The Power of Re-Centering on What You Can Control When the noise around you gets louder, the smartest move is to tune it out and refocus on your own financial plan. We remind our clients to concentrate on what they can control, like how much they save, how consistently they invest, their daily spending habits, and the strength of their cash reserves. These are the levers that truly drive progress in your financial life. Ruminating on policy changes, market predictions, or viral rumors won’t. That kind of anxiety doesn’t just cloud your judgment, it can chip away at your health. And we all know: health is wealth. The goal is a life where your finances support your peace of mind, not compete with it.

  • Simple Steps, Serious Protection: Asset Protection 101, Ep 27

    Simple Steps, Serious Protection: Asset Protection 101, Ep 27
    Apr 15 2025
    Physicians don’t realize they’re financially exposed — not just to malpractice, but to everyday events like fender benders, lawsuits, or even divorce. Asset protection sounds like something complex or reserved for the ultra-wealthy, but in reality, there are basic, easy-to-implement steps that can make a big difference. This episode starts by opening your eyes to just how vulnerable your assets might be right now — especially if you haven’t taken any proactive measures to protect them. As the conversation unfolds, hosts Chad Chubb and Tyler Olson break down four practical and approachable strategies: using ERISA-protected retirement accounts, adding umbrella insurance, titling assets under Tenancy by the Entirety, and yes — prioritizing date nights to reduce divorce risk. They emphasize how these simple tools offer high-impact protection without requiring legal complexity or advanced financial strategies. Even if you’re still in training, these moves can strengthen your financial foundation early.

But there are a handful of basic moves that can go a long way without requiring any legal background. I walk through four of them that we see overlooked all the time: using ERISA-qualified accounts, adding umbrella insurance, using the right account title if you're married, and paying attention to your relationship. You don’t need to be ultra-wealthy to benefit — you just need to take a few small actions most people skip. Retirement accounts aren’t all created equal There’s a big difference between where your retirement money lives and how well it’s protected. A lot of people move old 401(k)s or 403(b)s into IRAs without realizing they’re giving up a layer of legal insulation. ERISA-qualified plans often have stronger protection from lawsuits and creditors, and that matters when your name and profession make you a target. It’s not just about shielding against the worst-case scenario — it’s about stacking the odds in your favor. If something happens and you're named in a lawsuit, the type of account your money sits in could determine whether it’s accessible or untouchable. This is also one reason we suggest keeping those workplace plans intact rather than rolling them over the minute you change jobs. On top of that, there are ripple effects. Moving money into a traditional IRA can also interfere with other planning tools, like the backdoor Roth strategy. So what looks like a simple admin task — consolidating accounts — can actually weaken both your tax planning and your protection. Better to know that now than later. The biggest threat to your wealth might not come from a lawsuit People worry about malpractice or getting sued in a car accident, and they should. That’s why umbrella insurance and proper account titling matter. But we also talk through something even more common: divorce. It's not just an emotional disruption — it's a financial event. We touch on how intentional time together can reduce that risk and why asset protection includes relationships, not just accounts. It’s easier to maintain connection than to repair damage.

  • You’ve Been Matched with a Residency, Now What? Ep #26

    You’ve Been Matched with a Residency, Now What? Ep #26
    Apr 1 2025

    You’ve matched—congrats! But now what? As you transition from med school to residency, financial decisions are about to get real, and the steps you take now can make a huge difference in your financial future.

    Many new residents don’t realize how much financial planning matters at this stage—things like student loans, budgeting, and even insurance may seem like details you can handle later, but getting ahead now can save you serious money (and stress) down the road.

    Federal student loans, private refinancing, and income-driven repayment plans all come with deadlines and fine print that can affect how much you pay long-term. Credit card debt and budgeting also need attention, especially with the gap between your last med school disbursement and your first residency paycheck. Employer benefits like 403(b) contributions and disability insurance can offer protection, but knowing which options to choose makes all the difference.

    By the time residency starts, the goal is to have a plan in place so financial worries don’t pile up on top of patient care. Small moves now can put you in a stronger position for the years ahead. The transition from med student to resident is big, but getting organized financially can make it a whole lot easier.
